It's been about 20 years for me and I've found the same results. I work a lot of hours but they are all productive versus when I had people work for me. Only when absolutely necessary, I hire someone for a day or two to help me pull wires in a bigger job.

The secret is .... control your annual income by the amount of cash you take. Buys a lot of toys! It's amazing how I manage to survive on a very meager income :-)
